Fair comment. I know others have a similar opinion, but reality is that only one club wins the flag each year. Port under Williams is capable of being very competitive against every club IMO, crowds are fickle. Even the Crows fans have dropped off % wise in recent years. They will come back if success comes again. I just hate the attitude that many people have about Williams and his personality, game plan etc etc I thought they were very good last week against very good opposition. You're only as good as your last game ???

Honestly alot of supporters arn't in favour of Choco continuing at Alberton, if this coaching saga keeps going on & on & on god knows how many more supporters your gonna loseyou can't afford to lose much more, your not making any profits as it is.
I'm sure there's "a lot" of supporters at almost every club that don't fully support the coach. Does that mean that the club should get rid of him? In Choco's case, I'd bet that there a more who want him to stay than those wanting him to leave. Most of those wanting him to leave probably have no idea about the value of retaining an experienced, well respected (by all the players) and hard working PREMIERSHIP coach with one of the best win/loss records in modern coaching history. No Mercy, you have no idea....
Ruben i have know doubt what so ever Williams can coach, i never said he couldn't, his win loss ratio is outstanding BUT this blokes been there for 11 years for 1 flag & for the last 2-3 years instructing a very ugly game plan that the supporters hate & everyone involved in football hate( short negative defensive football ) They didn't win their Grand Final against Brisbane playing that brand of football did they?
You say Ruben he's well respected by all the players, i'm not so sure about that, their not playing like they respect him & i'm sure if players are asked from their mates in private you'll find some answers would be very much like Stewy Dews thoughts on Williams ( not liked ) yet if they are asked by the media they'll be full of praise & support for the man so they don't lose their spot in the team.
Why are Ports crowds down from 30.000+ to under 19,000?
Don't you think it has something to do with the lack of support for this style of football they play which over the years has proven to be non successfull? If this continues Mr Carter this club will be the non existant one not the Port Magpies. You may not like my view Ruben & i may have no idea in your eyes but hey thats my opinion & we're all entitled to one.
Not making excuses but S Burgoyne, C Cornes, D Motlop, H Hartlett being unavailable doesn't help his structure, gameplan options or ability to win the tough games either. I'm just saying he cops a lot of unfair criticism IMO.
